Dear James,
I cannot thank you enough. Firstly, how very kind of you to give me the wonderful gift. It’s sensational and thoughtful of you. Secondly, all down to you that my party was such a success. Everything looked, sounded, tasted delicious. All my guests were so impressed and had a fantastic time. You’ve been so patient, professional and a joy to work with. You’re a star."

1 / WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM OTHER EVENT PLANNERS?
Our personalised approach, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences set us apart. We prioritise your vision and needs to ensure your event reflects your unique style and personality. Read more here.
The level of your involvement in the planning process is entirely up to you! At Events by James, we offer a range of services to suit your needs and preferences. Whether you desire a hands-on approach or prefer to leave the details to us, we are here to ensure your event is seamless and spectacular.
If you opt for our Full Service, you can be as involved or as hands-off as you wish. Some of our clients prefer to be guided throughout the entire journey, trusting us to make decisions that align with the shared vision and process. We provide regular updates and ensure you are comfortable with every step.
For those who prefer to be led but stay fully informed, our partial planning service is an excellent choice. It allows for a collaborative effort where we work closely together, keeping you up to speed on all the details while handling the heavier lifting. This way, you can enjoy the planning process without the stress of managing every aspect.
In our initial consultation, we will discuss your preferences and determine the best approach for our partnership. Whether you want to be deeply involved or prefer to delegate most tasks, we tailor our services to fit your style and needs. Our goal is to impact your event in the most positive way and ensure it reflects your vision perfectly.
I’m here to help and make your event unforgettable! Let’s discover together what our working relationship will be and how we can create something truly special.
We have a network of trusted vendors, but we're also happy to work with vendors of your choice. Our goal is to ensure your event exceeds your expectations, regardless of the vendors involved.
Our pricing is tailored to each client's specific needs and budget. We offer transparent pricing and will provide a detailed proposal outlining all costs before you commit to anything. We aim to make the payment process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. For all our services, we require a 50% deposit to secure your booking. The remaining 50% is due 6 months before the event. This structure ensures that everything is settled well in advance, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day.
If your event is within the 6-month mark, the full balance will be invoiced upon contracting our services. If you have any further questions about the payment process, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
